Kansas PRAIRIE FIRES.

AtchiDson, April IA SPECIAL to the
Champion says: Reports concerning
the destruction of life and property
caused by the great prairie fire that
swept over the eastern portion OF Norton
and Graham counties Saturday last are
yet meagre and unsatisfactory, but
enough is known to appall the sstontcst
hearts. The fire started near Nicodemus,
in Graham county. The wind, which
wa blowing forty miles an hour, carried
the flames over and through the dry
grasses at 8 frightfnl speed. General
destruction OF property commenced near
Roscoe, in Graham county. Here il
spTssas eve: be s..aty sa. fully &c m;
la half miles in width, and as the wind
carried 1t north was constantly spread
Ing until IL was seven miles wide where
it crossed the north fork of the Solomon
river, three miles east OF D;nsmore. Ii
is definitely known that from thirteen
to sixteen lives were lost in the two
counties, but the names have not been
learned.
How far the fire extended north from
Solomon is not known, but IL must haye
travelled q long distance. At the same
time another fire swept down the south
fork of the Solomon to a point 8
Millbrook, sweeping. everything in Its
path, and burning six persons to death,
o father, mother and four children, and
q large number of cattle, horses, hogs
and poultry. In one instance q woman

arms and started for TIE plowed ground
but before he reached it the woman's

babe. less than an hour old, with other
members of the family, was saved,
bat the honse and other property on
the Farm were destroyed. Hundreds OF
marrow escapes could be related. Satnr-
day was o frightful day, one isng to be
remembered by o great many families
in Norton and Graham counties.

Inc hennebec dam presents very aDimat-
ed appearance just now. A large force of
workmen are employed in putting down new
timbers and adding ballast to the structure.
1t will be remembered that during the spring
freshet the top part Of the dam was pushed
up. This has been found to have been
caused by the force Of the compressed air
below which, being under the enormous
pressure of the twelve or thirteen feet of water
above the dam, was obliged to find vent.
At the time of the freshet a strong southeast
wind with high tides prevailed at sea and in
consequence the rise iu the river was SO great
that the water below the dam was fully FIVE
feet higher than the dam itself. This of
course afforded no outlet for the air beneath
the structure which, under the enormous
weight of the water above, exerted a pressure
too great to be withstood. In the repair of
the dam this danger has been carefully
guarded against. There is now no possible
chance for the air to work under the timbers.
A large amount of ballast has been filled in.
The new timbers are of great strength, and
are secured at considerable depths to the lower
timbers by long bolts which are provided
with nut and washer at both ends. The
entire work is under the superintendency of
Mr.. A. B. Tozier of Waterville, and is in all
respects most credible to him. There are
now twenty-iour men employed on the job,
which Mr.. Tozier expects to complete this
week. Everything has been done in a most
substantial and thorough manner, and Mr..
Tozier assures Us that the dam was never in
as good condition as 1t is now.

The new uniforms for the State militia are
expected this week. The uniform adopted Is
substantially the one used in the United
States Army. The coat is trock OF dark,
blue cloth trimmed with white. and the pants
are of the regulation light blue color, similar
m those which have been worn heretofore,
with the exception that welt on the outside
seam will take the place of the stripe for the
privst,s. The stripe will hereafter only be
worn by the officers. 1t is very neat suit
and will enable the Maine boys to make an
sxcellent showing on their Philadelphia trip
next week. Speaking of the trip, Gen. Cal
lseher assures us that no State IN the Union
will be as well represented. according to pop
u,stion and the number of enlisted men, as
Maine. There will be about three hundred
and sixty specially detailed men. This Will
he an average of twenty-four men 10 each
comnsnv. There will be an excellent oppor-
tpn;tv for parties who contemplate fhiia'
delnbia visit to secure the advantage OF the
reduced rates, the fare for the round trip DC
ing only 1920. Staterooms and meals on
the boat will come extra, the price tor state
rooms ranging from 81 to So. Considering
the fact that no special appropriation mas
baen made for this trip. and that the expenses
mus, be saved from the $4,000 which were
nroyided for the annual muster, this excel
lent showing for Maine is most creditaoie-
osnec;sllv when compared with that of Mas
sachussetts where special provision Oh
s4O. 900 has been made.

One of the best things about the last two

conversant with the rules of the game,
prompt and impartial in his decisions, and

given very general satisfaction, and it is
